Martin Kemp's werewolf embarrassment, David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia rides again and Ealing classics get a spruce-up<p>How must Martin Kemp feel? The Krays star, <em>EastEnder</em> and sofa seller was also once, of course, a member of Spandau Ballet. He can now be found contributing an ill-starred cameo to the dreadful, straight-to-DVD British comedy (I think) <em>Strippers vs Werewolves</em>. In the film's opening scene, Martin, aroused by a stripper dressed in schoolgirl uniform, turns into a werewolf and she, taking fright, stabs him in the eye. That's him over with, after just two minutes.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/apr/29/trailer-trash-martin-kemp-werewolf">Continue reading...</a>DramaHorrorFilmCultureSat, 28 Apr 2012 23:06:05 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/apr/29/trailer-trash-martin-kemp-werewolfJason Solomons2012-04-28T23:06:05ZTrailer Trash witnesses the birth of a cinematic dynasty | Filmhttps://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/mar/07/mia-hansen-love-vhs-british-independent
<p><strong>A bird's eye view of mama Mia</strong></p><p>Congratulations to French film-makers Mia Hansen-Løve and Olivier Assayas. Three months ago, Mia (below) gave birth to their first child, Vicki. With impeccable timing, Mia's latest film is called <em>Father of My Children</em>, one of the best I saw at Cannes last year. Hansen-Løve's career began as a young actress, when she landed small parts in two Assayas movies, <em>Late August, Early September</em> and the costume epic <em>Les destinées sentimentales</em>. She then spent time as a critic on <em>Cahiers du cinéma</em> before taking up the camera and meeting Assayas again. Now 29, Mia spent her first nights away from her baby as she came to London last week for the opening of the Birds Eye View film festival. She begins work on her third film this summer, a study of teenagers in the countryside. Meanwhile, Assayas's keenly awaited study of 70s terrorist Carlos the Jackal should be released shortly and I hear he's currently working on a film with Juliette Binoche, reprising her character from his delightful 2008 film <em>Summer Hours</em>. "We couldn't be happier," Mia told me. "For Olivier, it was about time he had a child. He's very excited about her and, yes, it looks like she will spend plenty of time on set during her first years."</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/mar/07/mia-hansen-love-vhs-british-independent">Continue reading...</a>FilmDramaHorrorCultureSun, 07 Mar 2010 00:05:54 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/mar/07/mia-hansen-love-vhs-british-independentJason Solomons2010-03-07T00:05:54ZTrailer trash: Cherry-popping good | Run to ze hills... | By George he's got ithttps://www.theguardian.com/film/2008/apr/13/anthonyminghella.drama
<p><strong>Cherry-popping good</strong><br></p><p>Love was in the air at an emotional first screening of the artist Sam Taylor-Wood's new short film, partly produced by the late Anthony Minghella and dedicated to him. Love You More is the story of two skinny schoolkids who lose their virginity after stealing a copy of the new Buzzcocks single, 'Love You More', in 1978. It's charmingly performed (by Andrea Riseborough and Harry Treadaway) and it brought back memories for many in an audience which included actors Damian Lewis and Ben Chaplin. 'I'm not telling you how I lost my virginity,' said the film's writer, Patrick Marber. What about Taylor-Wood's big moment - was she a Buzzcocks fan? 'Actually there was no music,' she recalled. 'It was on holiday in Margate. I did it with the candy-floss man.' The artist also revealed that she'll soon be making her feature-film debut and is working on an adaptation of Julie Myerson's novel The Story of You.<br></p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2008/apr/13/anthonyminghella.drama">Continue reading...</a>FilmCultureAnthony MinghellaDramaSat, 12 Apr 2008 23:11:53 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/film/2008/apr/13/anthonyminghella.dramaJason Solomons2008-04-12T23:11:53Z
